Job Perks (minus the two hour commute)

For work I attended a labor law conference today in Los Angeles put on by Ogletree Deakins (Why do law firms always have the oddest names?)   Although it may sound a bit un-interesting, we were served breakfast and lunch, the cookies and chai tea were unlimited and I won $150 to Patina restaurants!

Even though we have $150 of free food Paul still reminded me that "their appetizers are 12 dollars!!!"   There are two Patina restaurants located at LACMA and I've wanted to go there too, so I think we need to make a night of it (a night because LA County residents are free after 5pm.)  LACMA is having a California Design exhibit right now which I really want to check out!

The two Patina restaurants at LACMA are

They both look cute! Have you been to either? Or do you recommend another Patina restaurant?
